Rock and Roll with Ember.js v1.13.7 is out

07 August 2015

I am happy to announce another update to the Rock and Roll with Ember.js book,
in line with the latest Ember CLI, 1.13.7. Book customers have already received
the updated version, here is how it got better:

Update to Ember CLI 1.13.7

Upgrade to Ember version 1.13.6

Explain better the difference between sync and async test helpers and how
these latter work in Ember

Make the stubs for creating bands and songs not take an id, to be similar to
how the actual API works

Extract the wait helper used across two examples (for showing loading
routes/templates)

Update jsbin in the Templates chapter to use the latest Ember version

Fix importing the capitalizeHelper in the code snippet in the book

Last but not least, the pdf version of the book now has page numbers and a
nice, expandable table of contents so you can jump to any chapter or section
from anywhere:

I know, it seems extremely simple to have them from the start but the way the
pdf was generated did not allow for this so we had to find another way. I
again worked with Almudena Garcia on these design
changes and I whole-heartedly recommend her if you have some front-end (HTML &
CSS) tasks to get done.

There are a couple of other, smaller changes and you can see the whole list in
the issues repo. Or you can buy the book here.
